Hi,

I am a software professional. I am not really happy with my current job, so started looking for a new one. Right now, I have a very good offer which I dont want to miss.

I have been working with the current organization for the past 3+ years. The company policy on notice period is 2months. But I just dont want to stay in this company anymore, I am not happy with my team members/manager/onsite/work. The current work I am doing can be taken over by someone very easily, it will take not more that a week or two for the transition/knowledge transfer. For this reason, I told the new company that I can join in one month.

Now I am really confused, I am not sure if they will relieve me in one month. I am planning to tell them that I have some personal family and health issues, so I am quitting this job. Will this really work ? Is there something else I can tell them such that they cannot say NO to me. I really dont want to have any issues, I want this to go smoothly.

Please give me suggestions, what reason can I give them to get relieved in one month.

I am planning to send my resignation in a day or two, I'd appreciate it if someone can help me asap.. :)

Dear Sanjana ,
Pls go thru yr appointment letter where you may find provision for payment in lieu of notice period on either side. If u find such a clause, take advantage of it and submit a cheque for the notice period alongwith resignation letter. However, give a few days notice for smooth transition.

Hi Prem,
Thanks for your reply !
I was just going through the appointment letter which I signed and found that the notice period is mentioned as 30days, which I am ready to serve. But I see my colleagues are relieved only after 2months.
Could they have possibly changes the company policy on this at a later point ?
What should I do, I am ready to serve for 1month but not 2months.

I feel, you submit your resignation with due notice of 30 days as per terms of appointment. While the management has power to amend the terms with due notice to affected parties, unless such notice is issued in general or in yr specific case with reasons, you can deem to have completed the notice period on serving for those days and demand release letter. However, ensure that you complete yr assignment and hand over charge. No one can force u beyond the terms of appointment legally to serve for more period. You can cite any personal reasons for your inability to attend duties beyond notice period.

In India the appointment will always mention notice period required and salary in lue of notice. If you are serving the notice, fine but even if you are not able to serve the full term of notice period you can pay salary in lue of notice and get releaved. No one can stop you.

I would like to suggest, you should give your resignation mentioning the last date of working and should have good relation with your leaving boss, try to convince him. Regards Arpit

Hi Sanjana :

I think you are on the right track the only thing needed is to handle this matter smartly. Your appmt letter clearly states the notice period as 30 days unless and until there has been an update in this policy and the same was communicated to all staff. Having said this there is a possibility that the notice period can be extended which is solely at the discretion of management if they feel that you need to be around to complete certain tasks. Though I believe you would think otherwise and believe that you will hardly need 1 week of handover time.

In your resignation, please mention that you would like to serve 1 month notice as per the terms of employment mentioned in your appmt letter and would do your best to ensure a smooth transition of your work during this period.

Well in a worst case scenario even if they ask you to stay a little longer for valid reasons try to accomodate the same. You can try to convince your new employer for a delay in joining. Certainly this will help you leave the present organisation on a good note and also the new employer will appreciate your level of commitment and will believe that you do not leave organisation haphazardly.

Last but not the least in a software industry I think it is very imp to exit on a good note and generate enough goodwill for yourself so that in future whenever a background verification is done and also when you to need to give references things move smoothly for you.

Dear Sanjana,
Send resignation from your personal ID and mark cc to official ID. Mention that you are resigning from your position for good opportunity and new environment along with last working day.
After sending mail go and meet personally to the concern person and explain the reason.
